Tue, 08 Oct 2013 14:59:11 +0000http://www.wqed.org/birdblog/?p=72123#comment-38715Faith, I was wondering about you because I hadn’t seen any posts from you for a while. I think you said you live in Bridgeville one time and I drive through there a lot (my daughter works there right now) and I often wonder if you are still there.

On to a topic relevant to the post. Does anyone know if Turkey Vultures also have large migrations? I’m pretty sure they don’t winter around Pittsburgh. Last night when I came home from work, a group of more than a dozen were wheeling over my yard… my house sits on the top of a ridge and the driveway goes down to the valley floor through a clearing. We often have vultures come over the ridge from behind our house and catch thermals in our valley and the ones beyond our house. But I sat at the bottom of the driveway for about 5 minutes watching the group wheel around my yard, not very high, maybe 100 to 150 feet up, some of them dropping to the tree tops or a little lower and going back up. It was great seeing them flying so close up. Then the whole group just slowly drifted to the South, still wheeling around as they moved South.
